How do you eat soft boiled?

You can eat a soft-boiled egg straight from the shell with a spoon or with toast for dipping. Here's a breakdown:

Preparing to Eat

Before you can enjoy your soft-boiled egg, you'll need to open it.

Removing the Top: The reference tells us to use the edge of a knife to gently tap around the top of the egg to remove the cap, or you can use an egg-cutter.

Once the top of the egg is removed, you have a few options:

From the Shell:
- Use a small spoon to scoop out the soft egg directly from the shell. This method is simple and classic.
With Toast:
- Cut toast into strips, often called "soldiers."
- Dip the toast into the runny yolk and soft white. This provides a satisfying combination of textures and flavors.
If the Egg is More Firmly Cooked: According to the reference, more firmly cooked eggs can be carefully cracked, peeled like a hard-boiled egg, and served on toast.
